Pulpotomy for Kids – Gentle Tooth Nerve Treatment | Neenu Dental Hospital, Jalandhar

🦷 Save Baby Teeth Painlessly with Pediatric Pulpotomy

Is your child complaining of tooth pain, especially after eating or at night? If the decay has reached the inner part of the tooth (the pulp), a pulpotomy may be the perfect solution.

At Neenu Dental Hospital, we offer painless, safe, and effective pulpotomy treatments for children. With expert care by Dr. Neenu Sharma (MDS, Pediatric Dentist) in Jalandhar, we focus on preserving baby teeth while keeping your child relaxed and comfortable.

❓ What is a Pulpotomy?

A pulpotomy is a common pediatric dental procedure used when the top portion of the tooth’s pulp (nerve tissue) is infected or inflamed due to a large cavity or trauma. In this procedure, only the affected part is removed, while the healthy root pulp is preserved.

Think of it as a partial root canal for baby teeth — less invasive and specifically designed for children.

👩‍⚕️ Why Your Child Might Need a Pulpotomy

Dr. Neenu Sharma may recommend a pulpotomy if:

  • Your child has a deep cavity reaching the pulp
  • There’s pain when eating hot/cold food
  • The tooth has mild swelling or tenderness
  • The pulp is inflamed but not severely infected
  • The goal is to preserve the natural baby tooth until it falls out naturally

🧸 Benefits of a Pulpotomy

✅ Stops pain quickly
✅ Preserves the natural baby tooth
✅ Helps maintain space for the permanent tooth

✅ Fast, safe, and minimally invasive
✅ Usually completed in a single visit

⚙️ The Pulpotomy Procedure – Step-by-Step

  1. Examination & X-Ray
    We assess the tooth and take a child-safe X-ray to confirm the pulp condition.
  2. Anesthesia or Mild Sedation
    Local anesthesia is given to ensure your child feels no pain. Mild sedation is available for anxious children.
  3. Decay Removal & Pulp Access
    We gently remove the decayed portion and access the inflamed pulp chamber.
  4. Pulpotomy
    The infected top pulp is removed, leaving the healthy pulp in the roots intact.
  5. Medication Placement
    A safe medicated dressing is placed to protect the pulp.
  6. Tooth Restoration
    A stainless steel crown is typically placed to seal and protect the tooth.
